There was a time when BlackBerry phones were known to have a really bad browsing experience.They were meant to be for business people and when it comes to entertainment value or browsing experience,these phone suck.RIM has to correct those big flaws and they have done exactly that.They have raised the bar with top of notch browsing experience in their recently launched BB10 OS. Believe it or not,the default browser in BB10 is faster than any browser available in iOS,Android or Windows phone. Not only BlackBerry's default browser is the fastest out there,it also offers best HTML5 support. This was justified by the tests conducted by people at tech2.com.They were given a Dev Alpha B device which was running on BB10 OS.The tests were conducted on stock browsers of iPad2 running the latest iOS 6.01,Samsung's Galaxy Nexus I9250 running on Jelly Bean,HTC 8X running on Windows 8.Apart from these Android's widely used browser Opera,Chrome and firefox were also included.The r...

BlackBerry last hope to survive against its rivals BB10 and Z10 is here.We have already compared  Z10 with Samsung  Galaxy S3 and Apple's iPhone5 in our last post.This time we  will  be comparing Z10 against  Nokia's beast Lumia 920.Frankly speaking BlackBerry Z10 chances of   success against Lumia 920 are more than Galaxy S3 or  iPhone5 because Z10 doesn't even have 1/10th of apps comparede with Android or Apple. SEE ALSO:  BlackBerry Z10 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone5 Display- BlackBerry has provided a 4.2 inches capacitive LCD display in Z10.Screen resolution is 1280x768 giving pixel density of 356ppi which is quite impressive.

Apple iPhone5 comes with 4 inch capacitive touch screen with 1136x640 screen resolution and 326ppi pixel density.

RIM was offering $100 per app for any developer who can port his app to BB10 and get it approved.This Portathon lasted for 37.5 hours and RIM was successful to get 15,000 apps for BB10.The first 200 developer who ported 5-10 apps were given BB dev alpha device and first 10 developers who ported more than 10 apps were given paid trip to BB Jam Europe where BB10 will be launched on 30th January.
